Chapter 100 – Episode 100 the Meeting Between Minah and Ara

“I mean…”

Dohyeong became nervous without realizing it as he listened to Minah’s voice coming from the cell phone. She felt even more nervous because she had no idea what Minah would answer.

Mina’s words did not stop there, not knowing whether she knew Dohyeong’s feelings or not.

When Dohyung couldn’t hear Minah’s voice, he wondered if his cell phone was broken, but when he checked again, it didn’t look that way.

“Minaya?”

Dohyeong called Minah’s name again, which she could not say. She might have something wrong with her cell phone or something on her side.

“I’m sorry, Dohyeong. I couldn’t organize my thoughts so I couldn’t speak right away…”

Dohyung was relieved that his connection with Minah was not lost. And he waited again for Minah’s answer.

“Minaya, so can you tell me the answer?”

“Yes. That’s what I should do. To be honest, the video you sent was a bit… Very shocking. But I think it would be difficult to say that I can forgive or not just based on that. Could it be… Could I meet Ara in person and receive another apology? Then I wonder if I could forgive her? “I think I can decide whether or not there will be one.”

“Meeting… In person?”

“Yes, is it possible?”

Dohyung was slightly worried about Minah’s unexpected answer. She never thought Minah would ask to meet in person. Dohyung wondered if there would be a problem when he took Ara to meet Minah.

“Um… Okay. Then, I’ll set up a meeting place and time and get back to you.”

“Yes! Thank you for listening to my request, Dohyeong.”

After hanging up the phone with Minah, Dohyung returned to the room where Ara was. Ara quietly sat on the sofa in the room as Dohyeong had told her to do, waiting for Dohyeong to return. Even though he was probably hungry, he just waited without even touching the rice that Dohyeong gave him.

“Ah, are you here…? Did Minah… Say something?”

When Dohyeong came back into the room, Ara quickly got up from the sofa as if she had been waiting and asked about Minah.

“Minah… She hasn’t given me an answer yet. You sent me a video apologizing, but she said it’s hard to make a decision based on that alone.”

“Then… What should I do?”

Ara felt violated by the accusation that she had not yet been forgiven. She wanted to ask Minah for forgiveness, but when she remembered what she had done, she understood that it was difficult to make a decision based on just a video of her apologizing.

She wasn’t even sure if she could confidently say that if she was herself… She could forgive the other person.

“What Minah said was that she wanted to apologize in person, not just in the video. So she’s going to take you to Minah’s place.”

“Is that so?”

When Ara heard her Do-hyeong’s words, she was surprised that she still had a chance. After hearing Dohyeong’s words just now, she thought that any chance to go back was gone forever.

“So, um… I guess I’ll have to put some clothes on first. I’ll bring something to wear, put it on, and then I’ll take you out to meet Minah. Apologize to Minah again there. Be sincere.”

“Yes, yes!! Thank you! Thank you so much.”

After hearing her brother’s words, Ara again had tears in her eyes and bowed her head 90 degrees to express her gratitude.

“You shouldn’t thank me. You should give it to Min-ah, who you’ll meet again. And it’s not confirmed that you’ve been released yet. Don’t forget that if Min-ah can’t forgive you, you… Will never be able to get out of here.”

@@@

Mina put down her phone with her trembling hands.

“Forgive me… It’s really not easy…”

When she first got a call from Dohyeong, she happily picked up her phone. She never imagined that she would feel this good when someone contacted her.

But that good feeling quickly subsided the moment I saw the video Dohyeong sent me.

When she first saw the video she thought this was something.

And only after reading the text on the shape that explained the video, I was able to recognize who the person in the video was.

At first, Minah did not immediately recognize the person in the video because the background itself was dark, but she said that the person was Ara, and when she looked at the letters in the shape, she felt that it was similar to Ara in her past memories. .

In the video, Ara was crying and apologizing to Minah. Minah’s heart broke when she saw Ara apologizing to her with tears streaming down her face…

She had no desire to forgive.

Anger welled up in her heart to the point where it became ridiculous that she said that she might be able to forgive Dohyung if he apologized with all her sincerity.

She became so angry that she wondered if she remembered what she had done to her in the past and was making such an apology.

She said that Dohyeong erased them, but more than half of the wounds on her arms and legs were from Ara.

Thanks to this, when she remembered how she had to lift her skin to avoid flying even on hot summer days, it was difficult to decide whether she could forgive or not just by watching this apology video.

“I guess I can’t help it… If I could forgive everything in the past after seeing just one video like this… That would be a great saint…”

Minah looked at her phone and sighed at her complicated mind. She said that Ara was definitely reflecting on the fact that she could use magic, so she couldn’t be lying about that, Minah thought.

But whether she could accept an apology, even if she meant it, was another story. Minah was worried and thought about what she should do. She decided that she should meet him in person and talk about it.

She had a hard time determining how she felt simply by watching her apology video. So she told Do-hyeong that she wanted to meet in person and talk to him, and Do-hyeong listened.

If she only thought about Do-hyeong’s feelings for her, she would have forgiven him for this and hoped that Do-hyeong would no longer be bent on revenge.

This was because the future that Dohyeong reached as he continued his revenge seemed to have only a ruinous ending where nothing would remain.

Minah said that if she had the power, she wanted to stop Dohyeong from ending like that. Her first step toward doing so was to forgive Ara, who had implicated her.

By forgiving Ara, who is truly remorseful, if her Dohyeong and her own perpetrator are repenting, she will be able to accept that apology and forgive her, cutting off her bond of revenge.

Minah believed so and waited for Dohyeong to contact her.

And after some time, she received a call from Dohyeong.

Dohyeong’s text message said she would meet him at the park tonight. I searched her address and found that she was not far from her own house, perhaps out of consideration.

When Minah met Ara, she thought carefully about whether she would really be able to forgive and what she would say if she could not.

If she said she couldn’t forgive, it seemed likely that Dohyung would erase her Ara in a drastic way.

The person she was talking to at her last restaurant looked normal, but a part of her had a strong feeling that something was broken.

The decisive moment was when she said that she had killed not only her direct assailants but also her bystanders with her own hands. Even from Minah’s perspective, who experienced school violence similar to Dohyeong’s, she could not see her actions as justified.

And I couldn’t understand why he held a grudge against the kids who were bystanders.

Although it may have seemed like nothing happened to others, in Minah’s eyes, it seemed like she regretted her actions in her heart.

Min-ah was at the restaurant and since she broke up with Do-hyung, she thought that she might be the only person who could save Do-hyung. She didn’t think she would be able to move Dohyeong’s closed mind even if she approached someone else who understood Dohyeong’s heart.

For that to be the case, Dohyeong had already lost his normal daily life a long time ago. At least, she believed that the fact that she confessed all these things to Min-ah was proof that Min-ah was the only one worthy of opening the door to her heart.

Minah stood in front of her mirror to meet her Dohyeong and Ara and she looked at her own face.

Just a moment ago, she didn’t want to look in the mirror or anything. Every time she saw the ugly scars, she felt like they were piercing the wounds in her heart.

But now those scars have completely disappeared.

Thanks to the shapes.

Then, when she stood in front of her mirror again, her appearance had changed 180 degrees.

Because Minah herself, who was full of negative vibes, was smiling broadly while looking at the mirror.

Minah thought that this alone was enough for her to be saved by Dohyeong. She said, and even though only about a day had passed, the feeling she felt was happiness itself.

She wanted to make herself happy and this time she wanted to make herself happy.

Minah took hold of her heart and started preparing for her outing.

@@@

“Uh… Huh?”

“Are you awake?”

Before she knew it, Ara realized that she was lying on a chair in the park. Ara turned over and got up on her chair and looked around her.

Ara, what caught her eye was the scenery of the park she had never seen before. However, there was no one around her because it was dark after the sun had set.

“Ah!”

She was surprised that Ara was outside and looked at her body. The last thing she remembered about herself was that she was eating without any clothes on.

She then noticed that she was wearing normal clothes and let out a sigh of relief.

“Um… What the hell is this place…”

“Just wait a moment. Minah will be here soon. Think about how you will apologize when Minah comes.”

After hearing her brother’s words, Ara tensed that the moment had finally come to decide her own fate.

Depending on whether Minah accepts her apology or not, her future with Ryu will change.

While Ara was thinking, she caught the sight of someone trotting from afar.

Even though it was the first time she had seen her in a long time, Ara could tell who it was.

As Ara approached Minah, she quickly got up, fell to the floor, and shouted loudly.

“I’m sorry, Min-ya!”

Ara shouted and did not raise her head. She shouldn’t offend Minah and say that she won’t forgive her because of one of her trivial actions.

“First… Wake up.”

A little time passed and Ara cautiously stood up when she heard Minah’s voice speaking to her.

‘Huh… Huh?’

Ara was startled inside when she saw Minah’s appearance. She didn’t notice Min-ah approaching from afar, but when she saw Min-ah up close, she looked completely different from what she remembered.

Typically, the scars they had left behind had completely disappeared. Perhaps even if she erased her scar, some trace would remain, but there was no such trace at all.

While her surprised Ara looked blankly at her Minah, Minah also looked at her Ara and raised her right hand above her head.

Match!

And the sound of Ara being slapped by Minah rang out in the park where no one was there except for the three people.
